Climate Goals & Targets

Short-term Goals:
  • Construct an updated geological model to support geotechnical, waste rock characterization, and hydrogeologic studies required to advance the Project.
  • Collect additional density samples for specific lithologies currently lacking sufficient measurements.
  • Collect channel samples to further define surface mineralization for drill targeting.

Environmental Challenges

  • Historical workings located in areas not being utilized by Sonoro, need to be surveyed and noted in the database prior to being properly closed and reclaimed.
  • Some vestiges of plastic bags and black-cover plastic were observed and need to be removed during the reclamation period.
Mitigation Strategies
